Wow!!! One of the best meals I’ve had in the past few years!!! Amazing quality good, everything. The udon was seriously one of the best Asian noodle soups of any kind of my entire life. What a lovely family owned business and cute vibe, including outdoor dining with heaters. Highly recommend for dinner!

Excellent place for authentic Japanese food. I felt like I was back in Tokyo at some small eatery. You’ll find dishes here you won’t find at any other Japanese restaurant. Only drawback is the small dining room but worth the wait.

Kitchen is open line so everyone can see, head cook constantly drinks on the job and based on other people’s reviews it seems like he is often drunk while working. He is also distracted by watching TV while working the line, not to mention his verbal abuse to the servers, overall hostile work environment. I ordered beef guts with veggies but was only served the veggies, I had them fix it but they ended up letting me know that the protein for that dish ran out so I order the beef tongue. They should have told the customer that a dish is not available rather than wasting the customers’ time! It took a very long time for them to start firing up the beef tongue and when they did, they rushed it so much that it’s very raw. I’m not talking about seared and rare, it was raw and tough, barely any sear on it because the pan didn’t seem hot enough. Upon getting home, I started getting stomach aches and diarrhea. They should not be serving food to the public.

I will always miss this lunch place when I used to work near Cypress. Echizen is a mom & pop authentic Japanese restaurant who serves the neighbourhood with classic Japanese home cook goodness. The butter fish is out of the world, lunch price is also very reasonable. Nightfall, the place turns into an izakaya with folks dining at the food bar around the kitchen. This is a taste of the real Japan in OC. 🙂 Arigatou ne!!

Authentic Japanese cooking. Probably, last one available in Cypress. I’ve been looking for such place mostly in Torrance or West L.A. but never expected to find this in Cypress. I had braised fish lunch today, and I’m definitely coming back for Tendon or grilled Saba/mackerel.

A hole in the wall Japanese restaurant. Very good food. Most of the items on the menu are little dishes. Perfect for sharing. And paired well with some beer.

The best original Japanese food I’ve ever tried! I had visited this place every time I go to this area and always the food is so tasty and great. I recommend the filet Mignon.
